Astragalus is also called huang qi or milk vetch. Astragalus Extract has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Its main use has been to boost the body's immune system. But it also has been used to treat other conditions, including heart disease. That raises the question of exactly what heart benefits astragalus might offer. 

Astragalus root extract appears to work by stimulating the immune system. Astragalus extract has antioxidant effects that inhibit free radical production. In the body, free radicals damage cells and are linked to many health problems associated with aging. There is, though, no known way to stop free radicals completely. Astragalus root extract is a natural dietary supplement that's used for various health conditions. For instance, astragalus extract has been used to treat the common cold, upper respiratory infections, fibromyalgia, and diabetes. Some proponents of astragalus use it for its heart benefits. They claim it may protect againstheart disease. Astragalus extract is also used to help improve overall weakness. Proponents also say astragalus root extract stimulates the spleen, liver, lungs, circulatory, and urinary system. It's also used to treat arthritis, asthma, and nervous conditions as well as to lower blood sugar and blood pressure.

Astragalus root extract has also been tested for breast cancer, the common cold,hepatitis, and lung cancer.
